🎯 Why These Combines Matter

• College coaches want verified scores from credible sources

• Real coaching + structured teaching—not a "money grab"

• Great evaluation opportunity before Lindenwood Mega Camp

• Reps are monitored for safety and efficiency—quality over quantity

🧪 Verified vs. Hype Camps

• Verified = Coaches testing 1000s of athletes over years

• "Pop-up" national camps often use untrained volunteers

• Athletes should prioritize Casey & Elite for credibility and exposure

💬 College Coach Perspective

• Many use Casey/Elite data to build summer camp invites

• Coaches want in-person evals but start scouting from combine databases

• Multiple "touches" help athletes get seen by key decision-makers

🧠 Recruiting Real Talk

• Coaches are selective—verified events are critical exposure tools

• Athletes must compete consistently to stay relevant in recruiting

🌟 Closing Thoughts

• Parents & players must understand the recruiting process has changed
